"The world held its breath last night as a ceasefire was finally agreed between warring Israel and Hamas fanatics in Gaza."http://www.mirror.co.uk

Alhamdulillah..Thank God, i'm so glad because there has been cease-fire in Gaza. Hopefully this time it actually reached an agreement so that no civilian victims again, especially childrens who are innocent and didn't know anything about it . Aamiin. Please, do no more war and show of force again. But during the time if my brothers in Palestine been wronged (tyrannized) again , i will support them till the end of time (sorry if you don't agree). It was truly blessed in Muharram month, the Islamic new year. Allahu Akbar..

There is a recommended Sunnah practice on the day of Ashura and it's fasting.From Abu Hurayrah radi 'anhu he said, the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said :أفضل الصيام بعد رمضان شهر الله المحرم وأفضل الصلاة بعد الفريضة صلاة الليل"Fasting is the most important after (fasting) Ramadan is the (fasting) in the month of Allah (months) Muharram, and the most important prayer after the obligatory prayer (five times) is the night prayer." [HR Muslim no 1163].This noble hadith shows recommended fasting in the month of Muharram, even fasting is more important than any other month, after the month of Ramadan. Andwhen theProphet Muhammad sallallaahu'alaihiwasallamwas asked abouthisprefermentsaid :يكفر السنة الماضية"Fastingisabort(sins) in the past year"[HR Muslim no 1162].

More particularly if fasting on 10 Muharram ( Asyura ) coupled it with fasting the 9th of Muharram ( Tasu'a ) in order to differentiate from Jews and Christians, because the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam when he presented to the 10th of Muharram is the day that heralded the Jews and Christians. From Ibn 'Abbaas-radi' anhuma-hesaid :

In several days conflicts in Gaza between Palestinian and Israeli Zionists re-heated. I was so sad to see these cruelty of Zionist israel soldiers that continue to attack Palestinians. And even now already fallen many of victims whom are childrens who are innocent. In my opinion, it's reasonable if Mujahideen Palestinians strike back with a force that even lame, because they maintain the area. If it's like this, so who's the real terrorists? I can only pray for my brothers in Palestine was given power, protected and given victory with your help, O Allah. Aamiin ..In this Muharram month, which many of Muslims are fasting inshaAllah our prayers for them in Palestina were answered by Allah SWT . I hope the blessing and special 10th of Muharram could happen again this year for my brothers in Palestine like Prophet Noah saved from the float, like Prophet Ibrahim survived from Firaun & Moses A.S survived Pharaoh's army at the Red Sea. Aamiin. ALLAHUAKBAR..ALLAHUAKBAR..ALLAHUAKBAR !

Islamic new year is coming soon (15 Nov 2012), time for us as Muslims increase our acts & worship also eager to make new resolutions. And my new resolutions for 1434 H are . . . . . . ( it's secret actually & only Allah SWT who knows my resolution xixixixixi ). Supposedly in the Islamic new year we have to be grateful, happy and celebrate it. However, there are still many of us who are often forgotten and more excited as the turn of the year AD ( 01 Januari ).

As we know that the change of day in Islam itself happens when sunsets or maghrib. Let's do dhikr, prayer and other sunnah worship at that time so years later ( if Allah still given life for us ) hopefully our lives filled with
blessings and always in protection. Aamiin.

There is also a prayer ( Dua ) that we can read when the end of the year and into the new year of Islamic new year.

Here are following prayer for the end of Hijri Year ( read ba'da Ashr or before Maghrib)

Meaning:

"In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. May God's blessings and salutations to the lord keep us to Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.O
my Lord, what servants do throughout this year in the form of actions
that you act forbade slaves to do so, while the unrepentant slave of him
and you do not pleased and do not forget it, and you also have fond
servant when you power to torture slaves, then you call the servant to repent after adulterous servant. Therefore, I beg forgiveness from you, so forgive me with thy grace.And
what has been done this year is the servant of the form that you pleased
deeds and reward you promised it, beg thy servant, O Lord, the One of
the Most Noble, who has greatness and glory, so that You do not accept
the practice servant and should you decide expectations Thy servant, O Essence of the Most Noble. May
God's blessings and salutations to the lord keep us to Prophet
Muhammad as well as the relatives and friends of his."

These early prayer Hijri (read after Maghrib or later)

Meaning:

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.May God continue to bestow mercy and salvation to our master Muhammad, his family and companions.O Allah, You are the Eternal, the past, another beginning. And unto Thy grace and generosity of Thy Great depend on.And this new year really has come. We beseech Thee in this year's protection from (temptation) Satan, lover-lover and his armies. And
we are asking for help to defeat the passions that rage took on crime,
so we're busy doing charity we can draw closer to You, O One who has the
grandeur and glory. May God continue to bestow mercy and salvation to our master Muhammad, the Ummi Prophet, and upon his family and companions."

* It is mentioned that whoever reads this dua 3 times (on the last day of
the year i.e. this year before Salat-ul-Maghrib on the 15/11/12 ), then
the Shaytan says concerning him/her “We have tired ourselves with
him/her the entire year, and he/she has ruined our efforts, in one
moment”.

I love looking into the sky. See the blue cloud makes me feel peace [when i am so tired through all these day,,uhhhh >,< ]. I am very grateful for all that i have, a healthy & perfect body with all the senses. It's all can not be exchanged with anything. Your gift so great, O Allah . Alhamdulillah.

"[And] who created seven
heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the
Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the
sky]; do you see any breaks?"

"Then return [your] vision twice again. [Your] vision will return to you humbled while it is fatigued."

Today i was pretty tired. And didn't know what to do. So i try to update my blog. I open photo files that i have and try to find inspiration from there. And then i saw a picture that's quite interesting. Well...it's ant picture. That picture took with camera pocket, so be advised if the picture wasn't good. hehehehe...Okay go back to the ants. Why ants are so attracted my attention? because its reminds me a verse of Al Quran that named An-Naml meaning Ant.

Until, when they came upon
the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your
dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers
while they perceive not." Al Quran Surat An-Naml (27:18)

So [Solomon] smiled, amused
at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful
for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my
parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit
me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous
servants." Al Quran Surat An-Naml (27:19)

Al Quran is a mercy & guidance for the believers. Only Allah SWT who knows about supernatural ( ghaib ) , including Prophet Sulaiman who can speak the languanges of animals. Subhanallah...

We could find a lot of story that inspiring in Al Quran, but sometimes i even try to find inspiration from somewhere else, just as i did just now. Forgive me ya Allah..:'(. You have made such a great Al Quran but i often forget it.

Let's us read & understand Al Quran more and more. InsyaAllah that can save ourselves in this world & in the hereafter. Aamiin..
